competence in curriculum documentation. CHOOSEMATHS of the Australian Mathematical
Sciences Institute (AMSI) worked with 85 Australian government, independent and catholic
schools at the time of the data collection in 2016. A total of 620 teachers from these primary,
secondary and combined primary/secondary schools completed the survey and the data
collected represent their self-assessments.
